SHOUT OUT TO OFFICER HALL!!!! When Officer Hall heard that Stephen Park really wanted to read the next book in the Percy Jackson series, but couldn’t find it, he wasted no time. He quickly jumped into action and purchased the book for Stephen himself. Our resource officers truly care about our students. Thank you, Officer Hall, for your kindness and generosity!

🧑🏽‍🍳👩🏻‍🍳These lil chefs explored how to use AI to be healthier. Using a limited budget (figured w/ United for ALICE guidelines), students prompted AI to help design a recipe including ingredients chosen using “eating the rainbow” criteria🌈 & a taste test session, of course.👩🏽‍🍳🧑🏼‍🍳

Grateful for the expertise of local caterer/chef/business owner, Maria Cunningham! 💙

Two of our incredible staff members, both Ohio University alumni, Chelsea Herbert and Lindsay Burns, were featured in a great article by Ohio University, commending their work here, at CCSD!

"Gifted Intervention Specialists Chelsea Herbert and Lindsay Burns, both OHIO alumni, lead the Excite Lab, short for Exceptional Creativity and Individual Talent Enrichment, located at Chillicothe Intermediate School. The lab serves more than 300 gifted students across the district, offering experiences that go beyond traditional classroom instruction.
Both educators find the greatest reward in building long-term relationships with the students they teach."
